Orioles - 8
Indians - 5 WP: Josh "McEasy" McEachin (3-0) 2B: Luc de la Soujeole, Tony Cass, Preston Cole, After suffering their first loss on the year in embarrassing fashion on Sunday, the Orioles came out strong against the Indians, coasting to a 8-5 victory that wasn't as close as the score indicated. Leading the way on the mound was new team ace Josh "McEasy" McEachin. McEasy threw five strong innings, allowing six hits, two runs, and struck out five. Following him was Kurt "Special K" Karnowski who also made his Orioles debut on the mound. After a shaky start, Kurt settled down and got some excellent help from his defense with a Garrabrants - Frenchie - Gladney 7-6-5 connection to get Kurt out of the 6th. Special K's final line: IP, H, ER, K, 2BB. Considering it was his first time in six years to pitch, we'll take that every time. Frenchie and Garrabrants finished out the 7th inning to close down the win for the staff. Offensively, this was the most well rounded game of the year. The O's exploded for 13 hits in the game and were lead by Tanner "Bachelor" Stevenson who went 3-4 at the plate, raising his batting average to .545 on the year. Frenchie was also a force offensively, reaching base on all four trips up to the plate. The scoring got started early for the O's in the first. After a fluke double play which wiped out Luc's walk, M. Garrabrants was beaned and McEasy drew a walk. Boston Coppedge, hitting in the 5 hole for the first time for the O's, singled up the middle and got the scoring started. After a double steal by McEasy and Coppedge, Cody "QB1" Gladney singled home McEasy to move the lead up to 2-0. The second inning held more of the same with Tony Cass leading off with a walk. Preston Cole doubled down the left field line but Cass was thrown out trying to go from 1st to 3rd. Jake Bellington followed with a single to move P. Cole to 3rd. Kevin Simmons grounded out but brought in P. Cole to move the lead to 3 and after another walk to Frenchie, T. Stevenson singled home Bellington, stretching the lead to 4-0. The scoring didn't stop in the 3rd inning with Coppedge drawing a one out walk. He moved to 2nd on Gladney's second hit of the game. After a strike out, Cass smoked a ball to the right center gap, scoring both Coppedge and Gladney and swelling the lead to 6-0. The O's also scored in the 4th with a double from Frenchie and Stevenson singling him home. With the O's offense finally coming to life, it seemed to take the Indians out of the game early. While they did have a couple runners on when the game ended, M. Garrabrants threw his first curveball of the night at the perfect time, getting a swing and miss to end the game. Might be the only time he's had anyone swing and miss on his curveball but hey, it works for us. News and Notes: Coppedge has an official steal! First one since 2012 if records are accurate. (Sadly, they are). While it was the back end of a double steal, this writer will take it! Ten of eleven O's hitters reached base with nine having hits. That's what you called solid from top to bottom! The O's defense played solid all night, throwing out two runners who were trying to stretch for third. Hitting the cut-off man really paid off tonight. McEasy is 2nd in the league in wins, one behind McKinney of the Old Fashioneds who beat the O's last Sunday. McEasy was second in the league in wins last year behind Tim Hanan, although McEasy was awarded first place due to a lack of record keeping from the O's. The O's are hitting .338 in the past two games, over 100 points higher than the first five games. Looks like the O's are starting to wake up the bats and hit their stride. Next Game: Sunday 5/22, 1:00 PM, Home vs Athletics, Jesuit HS. Probable starter: T. Hanan
